Hosea 12:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² ·Your ancestor Jacob [^LJacob] fled to ·northwest Mesopotamia [^LAram; Gen. 28:5]
    where he ·worked [served; ^Chis uncle Laban] to get a wife [^CRachel (and Leah); Gen. 29:20, 28];
    he tended sheep to pay for her.
¹³ Later the Lord used a prophet [^CMoses; Deut. 18:15]
    to bring ·Jacob’s descendants [^LIsrael] out of Egypt;
he used a prophet
    to ·take care of [tend; preserve; guard] the Israelites.
¹⁴ But ·the Israelites [^LEphraim; 4:17] ·made the Lord angry [bitterly provoked the Lord];
    So the Lord ·will make them pay for the blood they have shed [^Lleave on him the guilt of his bloodshed]
    and for the ·disgraceful things they have done [or contempt they have shown].
